Nightbreed, I feel obliged to ask...does your bbInterface script completely work is the bar at the top mostly a place holder? I think I'd like to see some images of the menus popped open if they actually work (plus some sharing of the script code!) Very cool looking. :) |
Thanks Malnilion... No, the bar isn't just a place holder..lol For the most part the menus are still controlled by bbleans menu system. But most of the items in the menus are tcl scripts. The clock is a tcl script which changes out other info.. cpu, drive info..etc.. There's also scripts to change the bar's appearance, along with possition.. Top or bottom... lotta stuff... But I have learned to create menus using Autohotkey, I'm going to be hooking into application menus soon with that ;) There's one menu plugin I do like, which is bbmenu, but it's way to unstable.. |
Technicalities aside, I really love the style and its shinish texture. I like brownish styles and I know how hard it is to do them justice... |
"But I have learned to create menus using Autohotkey, I'm going to be hooking into application menus soon with that ;)" this i'm interested in... please expand! |
Spyderblade, this may help: link |
whats the deal with the transparent halo showing around the window shades.. how is that achieved ive NEVER seen that. |
circa, this must be caused by offsets to inner side. Breed must be using y'z shadow or some similar app. Seems he is not around to verify that, something really rare... :D |
Sorry folks.. I have a dozen or so manga covers on deadline atm. The halo is there to kill the floods foo.. opps.. it's winFX... Had to use it cause I wasnt sure how badly jpg would have messed up the colors and that helped to seperate the titlebars from the background. |
I'll answer more once I get this artwork done... sheesh.. Im going to have to start hiring people.. :-P |
As far as Autohotkey... I actually that as my shell and load bblean on top of that... One main reason is if bblean crashes I have access to the win+B hotkey to bring it back... Malnilion, check out Autohotkey's forum, there's some interesting postings about creating menus. |
